Chislehurst secondary options

Hi,We are currently considering buying a house in Chislehurst but I'm having wobbles about schools in the area. My DS is only Reception age at the moment, but this would be a long term move so I need to consider our options (although I am aware that schools and catchment areas change year on year).At the moment the only realistic option that seems to be available for a boy would be Coopers, which I have heard really bad reports about, (from a friend's son who 'graduated' from there recently). Is there anywhere else? Do people really commute to the Bexley grammars from there? I know traffic is pants in the morning and could imagine that would take ages.Does anyone live in Chislehurst and have some insight to give me? I really don't think that private would be an option for us.
